At this point, has Canelo redeemed and/or further solidified his status as elite?

canelo is absolutely an elite fighter. he's got one of the best chins in boxing, one of the best offenses in boxing. deep tool box, hard worker, lots of talent, stellar resume for a boxer in his 20's in 2018.
who is elite if not canleo alvarez? he's a top 5 pound for pound fighter wihtout a doubt. its really between him, lomachenko, and crawford.
i think those two are slightly better because of their elite speed, which has always been the toughest thing for an ordinary fighter to deal with. but canelo has a better resume without a doubt. neither of those two can say they have a W over somebody as highly regarded as gennady golovkin.Comment

Canelo too is a creative puncher, guy have a lot of boxing tricks.
Loma, Crawford and Nelo are the best right now.
But I want to see Loma vs Mikey and Crawford against Spence.

Clenelo lost the 1st fight!100% yes. I thought he lost both GGG fights but he fought the second fight much better. One thing about Canelo is he is always taking the hard fights that a guy with his status doesn't need to take and he's always adding new wrinkles to his game. He is elite and obviously still improving every fight.
Officially on the books as a draw!
But if you are in agreement Adalaide Byrd score card of 118-110 (for Pednelo)? You got bigger issues in life!
Fanboy want's to pretend it didn't happen.

But why punish Byrd??? She did Exactly what NSAC & Golden Boy asked her to do & so did the clown who scored it a Draw.
Meanwhile diva gets a year off and faces a 36 1/2 yr old
GGG less than a month after his 28th birthday.
That didn't happen by accident "Mr Fishnets!"Comment

Well said
Unfortunately around here if you’re not European your not gonna get much respect.
But the bottom line is canelo the smaller guy moved up to beat the crap out of the bigger “ Boogieman”.
Canelo is p4p numero uno right nowComment

Of course Canelo elite. Canelo same age of Munguia fights Mosley, Trout, Mayweather. Canelo ring iq in this age is very impressive. canelo fights Josesito Lopez is same thing like GGG fight Monroe Jr. fair balance. Canelo fights Cotto in very impressive defense sin esfuerzo.Comment

I'm going to ignore the 6 pages and just answer the question.
No, I don't think this redeems him. It's a huge win on the cards, but it's still too close after a controversial draw that had a lot of people screaming GGG win. If they don't do a GGG/Canelo III (which a lot of people don't care to see) Canelo will have to have a strong, dominating performance against a top 5 MW (a strong win against the Jacobs/Derev winner and/or the winner of BJS/Andrade would do it IMO)
he's elite. He's just not the consensus #1 middleweight in my eyes or in the eyes of many.Comment

GGG is bigger! Golden Boy and Adalaide Byrd gave Canela a gift in the first fight!
A draw, not a win?
But fanboy want's to believe the fight was Rocky vs Spider Rico.
